hey guys soo not this weekend but the weekend after im thinking about putting in my offroad armoury kit.
how hard is it to bleed brakes? should i buy a bleed kit or just drive it somewhere and get a shop to do them?

You have ABS?????

[bryce]

My 09 jimny has ABS.

[shep]

if you have a air compressor get one of these and you will be laughing

does the sierra modle have abs? or both ?
i only think the sierra has abs with power steering etc all the accessories.

i think i should be right just doing like applying the brake releasing the fluid. etc technique qill be fine to get me to the shop and get done properly?

Easy then, just as you said, pump fluid through, but when changing hose's, do it quickly & don't let the master run dry..

yer i have a pretty good understanding on how it works as i have done my brakes on my cruiser. (motorbike)
and downhill bike.
just wanst to sure if there was something critical i may have needed to know with doing the brakes on the jimny.

[steak_knife]

Nope, you'll be fine...

[bryce]

Bit off topic.
